Yes.

A felony conviction will cause your hazmat endorsement to be rejected nationwide.
A convicted felon can get a CDL (but they can't get a hazmat endorsement). However, they would be best advised to ensure that they've found employers who would be willing to hire them once they obtained a CDL.
No. Applicants for a hazmat endorsement are subject to a TSA background check. If you have a felony record, you won't pass the background check.
